Hello Seraph and thanks for the welcome..... believe me - i do intend to get some.  And i have managed to find all the supplies fairly easily.... and thanks to everyone here - i am pretty sure i have good Naptha, MHRB, etc.

i just need a few peripheral items - jars, something that measures ml instead of ounces, just odds and ends really. I tend to move sort of slowly - i was a pretty impulsive guy when i was younger, now - i think a lot before i do anything.  guess that comes with being an old dude now.
